The Celtics have already ruled Kyrie Irving out for tonight and Jaylen Brown hasn’t completed the concussion protocol yet, so the Celtics will face the OKC Thunder very shorthanded once again.
That means Jayson Tatum is going to be asked to step up again. He did so in the loss to New Orleans, providing the lone bright spot on a rough night. Afterwards, I spot to Tatum and Brad Stevens about his performance, and on Boston.com, I wrote about how these games are teasers that make us want more from Tatum sooner rather than later.
The kid can score.
